Charity hides a secret from Sarah in Emmerdale as devastating scenes lie ahead
Sarah Sugden's (Katie Hill) journey to parenthood has been a complete roller coaster in Emmerdale, and it's about to hit a sharp downwards turn. After Sarah underwent an emergency hysterectomy it looked like her dreams of becoming a mum were dashed, but Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) came forward with the idea they find a surrogate. That too went south when they learned Sarah's illness meant an agency wouldn't touch her with a barge pole, so Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) magnanimously stepped up to the plate, but without husband Mack's (Lawrence Robb) approval. After some deep discussions and the threat of an ending marriage, Charity and Mack worked things out and the surrogacy plans could continue, and Sarah and Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) got engaged. After Charity passed all the tests, the doctors were able to implant the embryos, and now it's full steam ahead for the baby plans. With everything so blissfully on track, Mack and Charity go for a lovely walk. Disaster strikes when Charity slips and falls, kicking off a huge chain of events. Firstly, she must manage her own anxiety that it might have affected the implantation. She's terrified that a stupid action could put paid to Sarah's dream. More Trending Back at Jacob's, a nervous charity is trying to convince herself she's fine and in doing so decides that when Sarah arrives home she simply won't tell her what happened, a tactic that has worked so well for Charity in the past.

EastEnders legend rushed to hospital unconscious after being pushed
Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) makes a desperate attempt for cash in EastEnders next week – with one resident being hospitalised as a result of his actions. As viewers of the BBC One soap know, Oscar is desperate to evade thuggish associate Fat Mike (Tai Hilferink), who he grassed up to the police for stealing a car. In retaliation, Mike attempted to petrol bomb his house, and has continued to try and seek revenge by leaving a series of threatening messages and, in last week's episodes, left a knife in the kitchen chopping board as a stark warning of what he's capable of. After the two lads came face to face in Monday's instalment, a paranoid Oscar attacked a hooded figure in the hallway of sister Lauren's (Jacqueline Jossa) house, believing it to be Mike. …but it was Peter (Thomas Law)! In upcoming scenes, Mike is back on the scene and announces he needs £5,000 in exchange for Oscar's family's safety. At a loose end with where to find the cash, Oscar makes an attempt at forming a business deal with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), but his attempts fall flat and he has to confess all to Lauren. Will she offer to help? Across the Square, Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) has been betting against his fiancée Yolande's (Angela Wynter) wishes, and is on cloud nine to see he and Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson) have bagged a whopping £6,000! Yolande is furious – having already warned that she'd call off their upcoming wedding if she found him gambling again – but little does she realise, the money won't be staying in his hands for long. The family are all in The Vic when Oscar foolishly breaks into the Fox-Trueman household in a bid to steal the winnings, but is caught in the act by Patrick.

'I went to find Benidorm's roughest pubs but things took dramatic turn'
Wendall found himself in the crosshairs of a group of street tricksters running the infamous "potato men" scam in the bustling Spanish resort. A YouTuber on a quest to reveal the truth about Benidorm's notorious nightlife was attacked whilst venturing into its "roughest pubs". Wendall found himself in the crosshairs of a group of street tricksters running the infamous "potato men" scam in the bustling Spanish resort. The con involves swindlers hiding a pea under one of three hollowed-out potatoes and fooling inebriated tourists into placing bets, with a planted accomplice seemingly winning big to lure others in. When Wendall attempted to film the scam for his video titled 'Throat Punched On Benidorm's Roughest Pub Crawl', things quickly escalated, culminating in one of the group grabbing him by the throat. As soon as Wendall's camera came into sight, the scammers aggressively demanded he leave. "I'm just filming an interesting thing," he maintained, asking, "What's the problem with me filming?" However, their aggression only increased, reports the Daily Star. After the attack, Wendall expressed his disbelief: "He punched me in the throat, just for filming the street." Deciding it was best to lay low, Wendall retreated into what he humorously referred to as "some of Benidorm's roughest pubs". During these escapades, he encountered numerous rowdy, often shirtless Brits enjoying stag and hen parties or indulging in extended stays at this popular holiday destination. Most of the party-goers he met were having a great time, with many seen enjoying pints at Uncle Ron's bar where a pint of lager is only €1, roughly 90p. The landlord of Uncle Ron 's claims to serve the cheapest pint in Benidorm, which could well be the most affordable beverage in Western Europe. The proprietor acknowledges that whilst the bargain-basement pint operates as a loss-leader, it draws punters who frequently end up purchasing food alongside their beverage, guaranteeing he still makes money on the ale, "just not terribly much." Beyond the hectic main thoroughfare, though, numerous Benidorm drinking establishments are battling to survive. Several have closed their doors permanently. Wendall discovered one such abandoned boozer that had been converted into a temporary shelter for rough sleepers. Wendall decided to conclude his pub crawl at the resort's most notorious establishment. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

"Pretty much everybody I spoke to as I went around said the Red Lion's the roughest pub," he observed. "It hasn't got a good reputation." Nevertheless, Wendall seemed to have a cracking time, even getting recruited by the bloke outside to help lure customers with the offer of a free shot. Despite its fearsome reputation, Benidorm's hardest pub provided a remarkably subdued experience. "If there's going to be a brawl on the strip," he admitted, "it's normally outside there," but he also remarked "it's the centre of the Benidorm strip really. So what do you expect?". Certainly, for an early evening drink, this establishment is worlds apart from the dodgy business of watching the potato vendors conduct their operations.
